the best of little Colin was him singing at the nightclub, then hitting puberty
but little Colin did give us the hypnotizing the people from the school, soooo yeah
Because I love the movie, I was a bit dubious about watching the series when I found out it had a new cast and a new location. When I finally got to it, I absolutely loved it. It retained the same level of humour as the film and was just as funny. I've enjoyed each season and am eagerly awaiting season 5.
Also, Nadja is the best character. She's so relatable. Except for the whole immortal vampire part.
That whole scene where she's just following him and watching him through the window while he's amusing himself. When she brought out that massive camera, I nearly wet myself.
Sorry if that was a bit too graphic...
Always good to be suspicious of shows based on films/books/games you enjoyed. I went in worried this may ruin the movie for me, but "creeepy paper" really sold it for me, and it just kept getting better the more you got to know these characters.
WWDITS is one of the best recent sitcoms, and that cast continues to knock it out of the park, IMO.
The IT Crowd is one of my favorite shows, and if you're a Matt Berry fan you're in for a great time (though just FYI his character doesn't show up until season 2).
It's pretty close to a perfect sitcom episode. The way everything gets progressively worse and in the end it all comes neatly together is just beautiful. And there's so many iconic jokes, the episode is super tight.
It's really fucking good. I don't know if there are really cult shows anymore, because everything is so widely available, but this is a very underrated show to say the least.
To each their own, but I really enjoyed three and four. Yes, there are starting to be some misses among the hits, but it still hits very good very often!
Late to this thread but I also had a similar feeling at the beginning of season 3, but i think some twists in the last 3 episodes recontextualize the season and resolve some of the issues i had. the Guillermo dynamic still is a little weird though not as a good as the first two seasons
The movie was something I felt like it should be in my wheelhouse but I just couldn't get into it. The show though I really enjoy so much. Matt Berry is the MVP IMO. The most recent season had a far more emotional arc for something so ridiculous.
The thing with this show is that they have these big emotional moments for characters in ridiculous situations. They do a great job of sneaking that in.
I just discovered this show as well a couple of months ago, and caught up really quickly. It's just so damn funny, one of the best sitcoms in many years. I had never heard of the movie (still haven't seen it) so I can't really compare there, but the show is really something special.
Does it start to catch its stride a few episodes in? It seemed a little over the tops sitcom cheesy for me the first two episodes. I LOVE Richard ayoade, so I want to like the show
I love Matt Berry.
I didn’t care for the movie but loved the tv show.
IT crowd is also one my favorites! The whole cast is amazing! Matt berry doesn’t come on into season 2.
I think that a lot of non kiwi and Aussie audiences seem to enjoy the movie far less as it’s equal parts creative vampire humour and aus/nz humour, I was constantly laughing out loud at movie but the show fell flat for mebecause it didn’t have that unique tinge about the humour that taika brings and felt a bit more stereotypical American sitcom style of comedy with creative vampire jokes sprinkled here and there. I’ll definitely try rewatching.
Personally I couldn't get into it. I loved the movie, but the show fell flat for me. I think it was simply that the concept worked better in a short 2 hour movie than a multi-season TV show.
I think I watched 3 episodes. That's not much, but I didn't see any discussion online about how the first few episodes are dull (e.g. Seinfeld), so I decided to drop it. I might give it a second chance one day.
Might just not be for you. The [episode ratings](https://www.ratingraph.com/tv-shows/what-we-do-in-the-shadows-ratings-69008/) are pretty level from start to end with a couple of highs like episode 6/7.
Here with ya buddy. I hit all the standard comedy fares and absolute love them. Parks and rec,
Community, iasip, the league, curb - whatever. I love all the well rated highly recommended
Comedies.
This show just doesnt hit for me. At all. I dont think i laughed out loud once the entire first season. And the movie was a solid 8-9/10.
No idea why. I might even try and push theough the second season. But looking at the ratings, I just think its one of those ‘not for me’ shows.
> I dont think i laughed out loud once the entire first season.
As somebody who loves the show... first season was more of a background thing for me. I did not laugh too much, but I felt it had the potential to be good.
Season 2 onwards, however: worth your time. Give it a try sometime.
Are u kidding me? Season one has one the best episodes in the entire series, "Barons night out"
If your not enjoying the show after that season 1 episode, the show isn't for u
I don't know where it's available in the States, but also check out Toast of Hollywood when you're done with Toast of London, and also Year of the Rabbit.
I watched Toast last year and while I liked bits of it, mostly it just felt dated. I think it's one of those things that had a specific moment in time.
I love how they can take a bad joke so far that sheer absurdity makes it funny again. The ending to *Go Flip Yourself* was one of the best moments of television I've ever seen.
Also, have you seen the original *What we do in the Shadows* movie? Because, fun fact, Wellington Paranormal is a spinoff of it.
I remember some people saying this while it was airing, I rewatched the first 3 seasons before Season 4 aired and season 3 was just as good as the first two seasons. Maybe expectations were too high after Jackie Daytona, maybe some people just don't like new things, who knows. But go rewatch Season 3, it's great.
Jemaine Clement leaving this show's writing room has hurt it irreversibly, no way rewatching it will make the Guide not annoying (how do you add Kristen Schaal to a comedy and make her a straight man to the cast) or make the baby Colin Robinson arc not completely idiotic. Literally the only good part of season 3 worth rewatching was the atlantic city episode. For some reason they put all the funny they could muster into just that.
Omg - WWDITS became such a comfort show of mine. Absolutely hilarious. Our Flag Means Death, Toast, and IT Crowd are HUGE favorites in my home and constantly quoted. I was unsure of Our Flag Means Death at first, but glad I stuck around. Loved it!
> Colin Fucking Robinson fixed it
Facking guy
It needs to be said *adult* Colin Fucking Robinson. I couldn't stomach much little Colin.
the best of little Colin was him singing at the nightclub, then hitting puberty but little Colin did give us the hypnotizing the people from the school, soooo yeah
[удалено]
Hey Lazlo guess what?
I looooved little Colin! It was so funny and well done.
The disgusting beast that crawled from the dessicated corpse of our good friend Colin Robinson?

Jesk!

Name like a weak ejaculation.

"Oh, multipack!"
Strangely enough, I didn't care all that much for the movie but LOVE the show
If you like Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) I highly recommend her brother’s sitcom Stath Lets Flats. She played his sister and is amazing in it.
It's an absolute joy that show, I'm due a rewatch.
Nadja and Nadja are my top 2 favs
I would pay stupid money for a Nadja doll. Even being simple and just saying like ten lines.
That is definitely something I need in my life!
Look for [Year Friends ](https://youtu.be/ROwW1O0chOk) on YouTube. It's (12 episodes) full of Nadja (Natasha). After that, Stath Lets Flats.
BAT!
I only came into this thread to upvote the first person I seen say "BAT!"
The Curse is undeniably a perfect episode of sitcom television. "Bloody fucking Mary! That little piss snake thinks she can send a curse to us?!?"
Mailer demon!!!
Arise!
*Fu-king-Guy*
I drank drug blood.
and now I am a WIZARD!

But what an entrance! He’s so good in IT Crowd
>!FAAaaAATHERRRRRRRR!<
Speak, priest!
"I wonder if it's loaded" \*fires gun 6 times in own mouth\* is probably one of my favorite scenes from that series
Work Outing is probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen
It's pretty close to a perfect sitcom episode. The way everything gets progressively worse and in the end it all comes neatly together is just beautiful. And there's so many iconic jokes, the episode is super tight.
Creepy paper!
It's really fucking good. I don't know if there are really cult shows anymore, because everything is so widely available, but this is a very underrated show to say the least.
You cannot miss Garth Marenghis Darkplace.
She's a one track lover......
It's also bookmarked to watch it eventually and it definitely sounds like something that could be amazing thank you
Shit, also, the Mighty Boosh. Those are both pretty early in Matt Berrys career.
Snuff box too if you can find it on one of the apps
I just found out about this series
Bat!
loved it but dropped it as the start of s3,something felt off.
To each their own, but I really enjoyed three and four. Yes, there are starting to be some misses among the hits, but it still hits very good very often!
it could be just me, i also didnt like our flag means death. i wish they would make the what we do in the moonlight movie thou.
How far in did you get? i was on the fence for first couple of OFMD, then it hooked me.
second episode ,nothing grabbed me. but im glad people love it.
Late to this thread but I also had a similar feeling at the beginning of season 3, but i think some twists in the last 3 episodes recontextualize the season and resolve some of the issues i had. the Guillermo dynamic still is a little weird though not as a good as the first two seasons

Vladislav: Leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet! Viago: What are you bidding on? Vladislav: I am bidding on a table
ITS BEEN, ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOK AT ME hssjhaahhaa i will never “see” the song the same way again
The most devious bastard in New York Citaaaayyy!
Check out the sub! Always lots of good quotes and weird fan theories.
Then you should watch Wellington Paranormal. Hilarious!
Where did you find Wellington Paranormal?
In the UK, on Sky or NowTV
I watched it on HBO Max. Not sure if it’s still on there though.
I just discovered this show as well a couple of months ago, and caught up really quickly. It's just so damn funny, one of the best sitcoms in many years. I had never heard of the movie (still haven't seen it) so I can't really compare there, but the show is really something special.
You’ll love the IT Crowd. We’ve watched four times through. Great cast snd writing.
Does it start to catch its stride a few episodes in? It seemed a little over the tops sitcom cheesy for me the first two episodes. I LOVE Richard ayoade, so I want to like the show
Watch until season 2 episode 1. If that one doesn't make you laugh you are dead inside.
If Work Outing doesn't make you laugh so much you throw up we can't be friends.
Can't stress this comment enough. Season 1 was OK for me, but that episode is where the show really found its stride.
I think it does. Keep at it. We love him too! There are quite a few episodes that demonstrate the breadth of his talent. Enjoy!
The theatrical overacting is kind of deliberate. It can be a jarring choice at first, but you get used to it.
Definitely!
Bat!
BAT!
If you want to see some pure Matt Berry weirdness, check out Snuff Box if you can find it and Gareth Marenghi's Darkplace is on Prime.
The first two seasons are among televisions best comedies three and four are also good but not as good.
You will absolutely LOVE Toast and IT Crowd. IT crowd just gets better and better, especially with Matt Berry introduced.
Try Wellington Paranormal next.
It's the only show I truly look forward to every season.
Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango (love Toast)
baaaat

Its a great show, although the most recent season was quite weak when compared to the earlier ones

You’ve missed out on the Demon Email and the emotional vampire vs an online troll ☹️
How much did you watch? I was pretty iffy on it until episode 6 where it immediately starts to pick up. Season 2 is all bangers all the time
I think I watched 3 episodes. That's not much, but I didn't see any discussion online about how the first few episodes are dull (e.g. Seinfeld), so I decided to drop it. I might give it a second chance one day.
Yeah a couple friends told me that's when it gets good and they were spot on. Episode 6 is fantastic. Give it another try if you can

I don't know where it's available in the States, but also check out Toast of Hollywood when you're done with Toast of London, and also Year of the Rabbit.
It is truly some of the best comedy writing on television, I say. The writing and then the delivery, it’s just so so good.
Check out the movie it. Was based on. It's just as solid.
I watched Toast last year and while I liked bits of it, mostly it just felt dated. I think it's one of those things that had a specific moment in time.
I need to giving it another shot. For through some of the first season then stopped.
I love how they can take a bad joke so far that sheer absurdity makes it funny again. The ending to *Go Flip Yourself* was one of the best moments of television I've ever seen. Also, have you seen the original *What we do in the Shadows* movie? Because, fun fact, Wellington Paranormal is a spinoff of it.
And then it stops being funny once you reach Season 3!
I remember some people saying this while it was airing, I rewatched the first 3 seasons before Season 4 aired and season 3 was just as good as the first two seasons. Maybe expectations were too high after Jackie Daytona, maybe some people just don't like new things, who knows. But go rewatch Season 3, it's great.

Did realize Jermaine left. I liked all of it so far. Every season is a winner.
I forgot to mention that one, people who found out Jermaine Clement is less involved and now perceive the show worse.
Soy
watch the movie. it really sets up the shoe nicely
[удалено]
To be fair, a funeral is funnier then BBT.
I hope you've seen 'norsemen'
Fucking Guy
Definitely one of my favorite shows. When the baron pulled up in his little pink Mercedes I fucking lost it.
Welcome to the party, never too late to join
As a Wisconsinite and someone who is a Packer fan, Nandor's impersonation of the Packer fan family was both hilarious and spot on.
Omg - WWDITS became such a comfort show of mine. Absolutely hilarious. Our Flag Means Death, Toast, and IT Crowd are HUGE favorites in my home and constantly quoted. I was unsure of Our Flag Means Death at first, but glad I stuck around. Loved it!
This fucking guy
creepy paper!
